Police Are Using Twitter to Solve 45-Year-Old Cold Case

This is definitely one use for social media that I've never seen before...

Police in California used their Twitter account for Linda O'Keefe. Here's the catch-- Linda passed away in 1973. Linda was just 11-years-old at the time. She went missing while walking home from school; the next day, her body was found.

The cold case has baffled detectives for decades.

Their hope is that the tweets may trigger someone's memory, who could provide police with a clue to help solve this tragic case.
